Fallen tree damages Belk Pavilion at Elon University

The pavilion is part of Elon’s Academic Village, housing the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning and the General Studies.

“A fallen tree in the Academic Village has caused significant damage to Belk Pavilion and much of the surrounding area has since been taped off, including Phi Beta Kappa Plaza. Students and other visitors are instructed to stay clear of the area as Elon University physical plant workers address the situation,” the school posted on its website.

The tree was more than 100 years old and split due to a combination of wind and ice build-up.
